Abstract: For practical applications, the fractional-order integral and differential operators require to be approximated as stable, causal, minimum-phase integer-order systems, which usually leads, in both ...

Abstract: ntra-annual precipitation patterns are expected to shift toward more intense storms and longer dry periods because of changes in climate within future decades. Using satellite-derived estimates of plant growth combined ...

Abstract: A first cavitation modeling with thermal effects for oil/refrigerant solutions lubricated elastohydrodynamic point contacts is reported in this work. The solubility of the oil/refrigerant system is introduced into the ...

Abstract: In the present work, we evaluate the effects of lubricant starvation on the film thickness of spinning large-size point contacts from an experimental standpoint. This kind of contact is found in roller bearings in which ...
